That explains my wax woes, then. Dang. I assume a patch to fix that is incoming?

Put simply Thranos at the time I made my comment , if you put 20 units of the beeswax that you get from squeezing honeycomb into a bucket, into a large cauldron along with 20 water, this makes 2 litres of liquid beeswax. That 2 litres of liquid beeswax hardens into 0.2l of hardened beeswax. You need 0.4l of hardened beeswax to make one candle. Therefore 40 units of initial beeswax == 1 candle.

Wait, so what does that mean for using cauldrons to melt wax as of this current release version? Is it bugged?
I'm not quite understanding what ForestWitchReyna said about "40 beeswax to make a single candle". 

ForestWitchReyna I forget that I have Stackables on by default now and my numbers were projecting much higher than is possible in vanilla. I have changed the small cauldron number to 20 and the large to 32, as per vanilla stacking limits. Thank you for catching that 💚

Is there a problem with cauldrons? I've been using the cauldron without any notable issues, takes a while and about 40 beeswax to make a single candle, which you can't put in because 32 stack limit. Is that a realism/balancing thing or the cauldron robbing me?

Thanks to SalazarWindriver for asking about making huge batches of wax and lard with the cauldrons as well as the saucepan. Description has been updated to notate that cauldrons can be used and how much you can make in each container. 💚

The usage of cauldrons has been updated in the handbook entry and will be available in the next update.

Ruyeex I thought I had that in my to-do list but turns out that I did not. I will probably add that in for the next update 💚

Can you make the wax colored just for customisation in the future?

Tels The issue should be fixed in this update.

I'm getting this error when I try to load 1.0.2

Thranos Compatibility with Primitive Survival is already complete and will be released next update, and compatibility with chandeliers, candle-holders, and other lantern mods is in the works. 

My primary perogative for the time being is to provide alternatives and processes for vanilla candles, and refining any bugs, but in the future, as I become more skilled and confident, I would love to see about making molds for candles, having the wax set in the molds, and having candles burn out over time. 

Also, I love that you're having fun with the processes and I hope that this mod continues to bring you fun and joy 💚

At some point, compat with Primitive Survival's wood lanterns would be nice. It's fun doing the different candle type processing, as an aside. Currently processing my first batch of beeswax into candles.
Ever given any thought to molded or dipped candle creation methods to add more depth to it, or is the mod more focused on providing alternatives to the base-game beeswax candles?

Jimzawy I don't think so because more than a few people have had difficulty finding beeswax. SpearAndFang even made a hive finder mod, which may or may not have been in answer to that problem. I think making candles from all different kinds of materials is good, especially if you want to play in various ways. If you're a vegan, you can do soywax candles. If you can't find soybeans or beeswax, then animal fat candles become a solution. Also, you could save the vanilla beeswax for crocks and the fat for lard, and never use the fat for candles at all, or vice versa.

Also considering that beeswax is the only current vanilla candle ingrediant, having different materials to use for candles takes the weight off of beeswax by itself.

Thranos I can see about talking to l33tmaan about the other candle recipes, or also, like you said, patching them out if you have More Candles active.

HellsRazer Yes, 1L bottles are very large but when I was looking at the candles, some of them seemed to look like 1L. I can do some tweaks to the formulas, however - maybe look at the smaller portable cola bottles for comparisons.

Edit: New grid recipe amounts will be presented at the next update

Great Mod Teppich, this is my first playthrough and I am tempted to use animal fat to make candles since I have too many animals around, and I didnt think of bees wax until winter, do you think making candles from animal fat would make candles more OP then they already are ?

Do you think it would be possible to make this mod supress the Expanded Foods oil/peat/rope funky candle recipes?
It's kind of jarring to have the more in depth mechanics from this and then just...
Super DIY caveman candles.
(Not ripping on the EF candles, those things are a life saver when bees aren't an option, but this mod cover that well by itself.)

Disclaimer: this is a nitpick.

While this is a very interesting mod that gives nice alternatives to finding bees, your candle recipies triggered a sanity check for me.

To understand why I want you to go to a market of some sort that sells coca cola, sprite or any kind of soft drinks, or even water in 1 litre bottles (if you do not have something like it in your home) and I want you to look at those bottles.

That is how big the candles should be according to your mods recipie.

Kinda ridiculously large are they not?

we believe in you bro 😎

OpPointBaker Fortunately, I was able to get some help regarding the fat issue and an update should be rolling out shortly. I can't give an exact ETA, but it is currently in the works.

For tallow, I'd suggest looking into how ores are smelted in a crucible. I.e. Treat the rendered fat/tallow like molten metal and pour it into candle molds. Could do the same thing with the wax.

LOVEINJECTION If I can figure out the coding to boil fat and make tallow, I will definitely add it to the update.

i was waiting for this recipe to be added. thank you.

I think the change you made is fine as it is, but of course animal fat candles aren't made of unprocessed animal fat and it requires boiling off most of the crap to make tallow.
